I do everything from the keyboard. With the old search, I hit my keyboard shortcut, got the search dialog box, entered the string, hit return (which located the first occurrence of the string), hit esc (which closed the dialog box), and then hit a new keyboard shortcut to go to each subsequent occurrence of the word.

Now I cannot just hit return to reach the first occurrence of the string. I have to do some tabbing or some such. INFURIATING!

How to get back to the earlier form of search? I use it constantly to navigate around documents and loathe having to use additional keystrokes. Thank you.

I need to search selected column in a Table. FIND used to search in selection by default & now does in Advanced. But I would like to do it using the Navigation Pane in 2011. Can’t find a way to search in selection with results shown in Navigation Pane? Ideas???

Thanks for the instructions on how to remap the Ctrl+F shortcut so it worked like the old Word! My searches usually are complex (search for underlined words, find and replace the ^p with something else, etc.). That nav pane was a pain and I don’t mind the having the advanced serch box jump out of the way when finding a term.

@Karan, if you turn off incremental find in the find options it will not move the view on you (I hate that too.)

Thank you times a billion! The Ctrl+F window is a huge part of my life and I don’t like the nav pane for finding and replacing. I’m not sure if that is sad or what but yeah!
